The Suffering of Si Kembang Village
Danu escape

Seven days passed...

Nilam's life returned as usual.

Hearing the snaps of Pure, and Usman's grandfather as his defense, every time he did something that was always considered wrong by his aunt, has become a daily meal for him.

Kenzie had already finished his business in that village. And has returned to his home town.

And today Nilam decided to look for a job somewhere else. He could no longer work on the farm. Because he and his grandfather no longer wanted to connect anything with Dahlan, the young man did not know himself.

He walked towards the market alone, intending to risk his fate and his sustenance in that place. Either as a coolie or whatever, thought Nilam. The important thing is that from a good job, he can support his family.

But on the way, when Nilam passed by a small house, which he had previously known had long been vacated by its owner, it seems that the house is now inhabited again.

Seen from some strands of women's clothes that are sunbaked on a stretch of rope in front of the house.

" Are you sure you like me? Don't you have a lover?" a woman's voice came from inside the house.

" It's very certain that from the very beginning I saw you appear in this village, I've been interested. You are so beautiful. About him, I don't care anymore. Most importantly now, my love for you" replied the interlocutor, who was of course a man.

Degg !

"The sound .... It's like I recognize him" Nilam murmured. " Could it be ...?"

Nilam stepped slowly closer to the small house. To treat his curiosity, he peeked a little outside the side window, which was only partially covered by a single curtain.

But when he got the answer to the question he had in mind at that moment, Nilam covered his mouth with a palm. Both of his eyes were perfectly rounded.

When he saw someone who was very familiar with him, was making out with a beautiful woman dressed quite openly. With the position of the woman was on the lap of the man who knew Nilam, in the house.

" Danu .. he ...." Tears without a dam were breaking instantly. Flowing with no restrictions. This pain?

Nilam turned his body against the window. He held his chest which was filled with very tightness.

The man she had loved for two years had betrayed her without mercy.

The wall of hope he had painstakingly assembled. Collapse instantly without a stand.

Hope for protection.

Hope for a marriage.

Destroyed in an instant. Leave the wound debris, which may be healed.

What's my fault, Danu ...? Is that so, you ...?

With a trembling body, Nilam took his steps slowly. Intended to leave the place, but suddenly ....

Bruukk !!

Nilam's knee accidentally hit an empty water jar made of clay, which was located on a small table next to the house. It fell and broke.

Nilam surprised. He stared at the rubble of the jar that had been scattered everywhere.

" Who is that?!" shouted the occupants of the house from inside.

Hearing that, Nilam immediately tried to leave the place. But late ....

"Nilam," Danu's voice stopped her steps that looked like a dazed person.

Nilam turned his head slowly, looking towards Danu, with tears still breaking.

"Who, you? You peeked at us, huh?" ask the woman who owns the house.

Nilam looked at Danu's face and the woman took turns. "No, I'm sorry I interrupted your activities. I'll change this water, later. I'm sorry."

When Nilam was about to step away, Danu hurriedly blocked his arm. " Why did you betray me, Nilam? You know, I love you so much" Danu said without further ado, staring at Nilam's face.

Nilam turned his head back to Danu's gaze. "I? Betrayed? Didn't you just do it to me?"

Nilam was a little surprised to hear Danu's words. " Kenzie, you mean?"

"You're even very fluent in saying his name in front of me."

Nilam wiped the remaining tears on his cheek.

"Sometimes, when we see a person from a distance, we think, that we recognize that person. But after approaching, it turns out that person we do not recognize at all.

Why that? The eyes and mind can be wrong. Same with what you saw the other day. There is something you need to fix from your thinking. Sorry, I'm sorry."

Nilam stepped away from Danu who was glued to his place when he digested every Nilam speech just now.

A little while later Danu realized, Nilam had walked away. He immediately pursued Nilam without care with the woman who owned the house, who only a few minutes ago received a confession of love Danu, who was either sincere or not.

" Y...!! Where are you going...?!!" the woman called out to Danu.

"Nilam! Wait for me, Nilam." Danu grabbed back Nilam's palm.

" Reply answer me, honestly. Who's that man, Nilam?"

Nilam stared at Danu's bead eyes. " After you have expressed love to that woman, and even after you have so fondly peppered her, you just want to ask me?" Nilam smiled bitterly. His eyes turned to look in any direction.

Danu was still silent.

" Kenzie was the man who helped me, when I was in the garden. He took me to the hospital. Then as you can see, he drove me home, after I got out of the hospital. Is that clear enough, Danu?" nilam. He glanced at Danu's face at a glance.

" You're a pin in the plantation? Wh why? Are you sick?" sergeant Danu is worried, he forgets Nilam's answer to who Kenzie is.

"I'm fine. Just tired."

Danu looked at Nilam's face fixedly. Then he clasped both of Nilam's palms.

"I'm sorry, Nilam. Twice I've been by your side when you were in trouble. First, when you were kidnapped, Didy saved you. And now, that man you call Kenzie saved you. I'm really useless" Danu said, bowing his head.

Nilam took off his palm from Danu's grasp slowly. " Our relationship got here, Danu."

Danu jerked. He sought the truth from Nilam's bead.

" Why, Nilam? You no longer love me? Or because of that guy named Kenzie?"

Nilam shook his head slowly.

" Responsor your confession of love to that woman. Don't be a coward. You've also enjoyed making out with her, haven't you. The wish you always asked me for, but I never granted it. And now you've got it from that woman."

" No, Nilam. I never loved Sela. He's just my escape, 'cause I'm disappointed in you."

"Dance said? Also your sense of unworthiness is out of place .... Let go of me, Danu. I don't want to be with you anymore."

"Nilam, I beg you, Nilam. Don't be like this. I'm sorry about Sela. I'm sorry .... I love you so much, Nilam."

Nilam's head shook weakly.

" And one more, Danu." Momentary pause.

" Thank you for not forcing me to grant your wish, when you want to make out with me. That means, you still appreciate my lips, which I will give to the man who became my husband later," Nilam said without caring about Danu's love for him.

After saying that sentence, Nilam stepped away dead Danu who remained silent unmoved.

" Nilam .... Forgive me."

Danu stared at Nilam's back which was getting away from her sight.

" Did I really lose you?"

Seriate....
